The commit65c6604725("proc: fix the issue of proc_mem_open returning NULL") caused proc_maps_open() to return -ESRCH when proc_mem_open() returns NULL. This breaks legitimate /proc/<pid>/maps access for kernel threads since kernel threads have NULL mm_struct. The regression causes perf to fail and exit when profiling a kernel thread: # perf record -v -g -p $(pgrep kswapd0) ... couldn't open /proc/65/task/65/maps This patch partially reverts the commit to fix it.
